Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 12 hard boiled eggs, cooled and peeled
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp. whipping cream or milk
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh chopped chives
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh chopped dill
  • 1/2 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp. mustard powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika or smoked paprika, plus more for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise.
  2. Put the yolks into a bowl. Arrange the whites cut-side-up on a serving tray.
  3. Into the bowl with the yolks put the mayonnaise, whipping cream, chives, dill, lemon juice, mustard powder, salt and ¼ teaspoon of the paprika. Mash it all together with a fork until very smooth. Taste. Add more salt if desired.
  4. Scoop yolk mixture into a piping bag or ziptop bag (see notes above about which bags work and which do not). Cut off ¼ inch of a corner of the bag.
  5. Use a swirling motion to pipe the yolk mixture into the hollow of the whites. If the yolks are not flowing freely, make the hole in the bag a bit larger.
  6. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to one day.
